Work toward the enhancement of student learning by establishing the centrality of outcomes to teaching, learning, and assessment at the course, and program levels of both the major and general education.

Develop a process and framework in which assessment results support and enhance the program review process, as well as department and organizational planning and budgeting.

Embed the assessment of general education outcomes into all levels of the curricula.
